Getting outside to watch the birds is a great way to slow down and relax in nature. But birding groups haven't always been an inclusive space. On today's pod, we talk about one effort to change that and create a welcoming space for BIPOC birders.

GUESTS: 

• April Campbell, retired physician and founder of BIPOC Birders of Michigan
• Rukiya Colvin, Detroit-based freelance writer who profiled Campbell for Planet Detroit
